MC idées in the house

The new "Marie Claire Idées" magazine is out, so I bought one the other day. I've been getting this magazine since Day 1. Is this magazine easy to find abroad? Anyway, the Spring 2005 issue is nice, and although not their best there's still a lot of eye candy and inspiration. In this issue there were some projects made out of the humble French "torchon" ie. dishtowel or tea towel. I believe they are traditionally made in Cholet here, and I think they're prettiest in red & white or blue & white. One of the projects that really caught my eye was this little wall treatment here - Gosh this is really cute... Now why can't my kitchen look like this? These towels also look pretty with redwork or bluework embroidery. Maybe they have more possibilities than meets the eye?

Umm, because your kitchen is a real kitchen (you know, where you cook and make messes, and stuff) and not some wall in a photo studio :-).

I love Idees and wait impatiently for it to arrive at Barnes and Nobles so I can pay way too much money for one copy! too back it is just a 4 time a year.
